This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a Seven-Hooded Snake (Naga) sculpture, believed to date back to the 2nd century B. C. or 2nd century A. D. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its allure. Carved from limestone with meticulous attention to detail, this close-up shot captures the vibrant colors and intricate patterns that adorn the snake's body. The skillful use of color brings out the beauty and significance of this religious symbol in Hinduism. Originating from Andhra Pradesh, India, this artwork is a testament to the rich artistic heritage found on the Asian continent. It now finds its home at the Art Institute Chicago, where it is proudly displayed among other masterpieces from around the world. The Seven-Hooded Snake holds great significance in Hindu mythology as a powerful deity associated with protection and fertility. Its presence in religious rituals and ceremonies has made it an enduring symbol within Indian culture. As we gaze upon this stone sculpture, we are transported back through time, connecting with ancient traditions and beliefs that continue to shape our understanding of spirituality today.
